Twitch streamer and internet personality AngryGinge has spoken out following the arrest and charge of his friend Yung Filly while the latter was touring Australia.
Real name Andrés Felipe Valencia Barrientos, Yung Fully was arrested by police in Melbourne earlier this month after allegations were made about him by a woman in Perth, who claims he had raped her.
29-year-old Barrientos, who has played for England on Soccer Aid, was subsequently charged with four counts of sexual penetration without consent and three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. He has also been charged with another count of impeding a person’s normal breathing or circulation by applying pressure on, or to, their neck.

No plea indication has been given at this stage by the YouTuber, with bail granted by the Australian courts.
Reacting to the news on a live stream on video Twitch, AngryGinge told more than 11,000 viewers his honest thoughts.
AngryGinge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, teamed up with Yung Filly earlier this year to form Girth N Turf FC; a Pro Clubs team on EA FC 24.
Famous faces have joined them to play the game including Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney, dart sensation Luke Littler, and British rapper Aitch. With more than 110,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), it has garnered a large online following.

Reaching to Barrientos’ arrest, AngryGinge told viewers: “I’m not going to pretend nothing has happened. I’m going to be open and honest as I always am. Where do you start?
“Four o’clock in the morning I’m laying in bed, I see what’s going down on Twitter. First of all I’m the exact same as you. I’m shocked. Um, yeah. You know, mental. Mental.
“But he’s now obviously involved in legal proceedings and I can’t comment on legal proceedings. You know how it is. Mad.”
The Twitch streamer continued: “I don’t know anything more. I know the exact same as you. Please don’t think I do. It is what it is and we have to wait for the final verdict.
“You will all make your own opinions and that’s fine but the next big question: GNT [Girth N Turf FC].
“If you want the honest answer I don’t know it’s future at the minute. We’ll see what we can do but at the minute, I don’t know. Everyone at GNT is in the exact same boat as you. We only know what you know. F**king hell.”
Barrientos is said to have sexually assaulted a woman aged in her 20s in his hotel room on 28 September after he performed at a venue in Hillarys, a coastal suburb of Perth.
During his court hearing, Barrientos was granted bail with strict conditions and a personal undertaking of AU $100,000 (£52,000), alongside a surety of AU $100,000 (£52,000).

The case has next been listed in Perth Magistrates Court on 19 December at 9.30am for a committal mention.
This comes after another of Yung Filly’s close friends and business partner Chunkz took to Instagram to comment on the case for the first time.
Chunkz stressed he couldn’t say much due to the legal proceedings, which he will let take their course before giving a public opinion.
